You don’t need a college student to shop Target’s dorm line

Back-to-school season is right around the corner. Are you ready to decorate (and furnish) your college student's dorm room? This can be an expensive endeavor, but Target is here to help. Not only does Target have tons of cute dorm decor and furniture on offer through its many in-house brands, but students can also get some great perks when they create a free Target Circle account — like 20% off one purchase storewide.
